It looks like Christ is reduced to the victim and Mary is the source of strength as she "offers the victim". Yet we know from Scripture, once again, that Jesus laid down His life willingly, no one "gave him" and no one killed Him. Mary has become confused with Abraham and then with God the Father.

John 10:17

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

10:18 man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Not His mother. Yet everything in Catholicism points to Mary and away from Christ. It appears that Christ is just a victim and quite powerless. Catholicism focuses on the broken Jesus, not the resurrected Lord seated on the right hand of the Father. Then it's all about Mary, all Mary all the time. That's not the Christian religion, it's something else.

This has been evolving for a long time but your reference was certainly an eye popper. I did a google on it and sure enough, there are a number of Catholic websites that ties Mary directly to the Eucharist. Even the Orthodox are very uneasy with all this Mary stuff. You're right, it has become all about Mary.
